Love It Or Leave It; Review 2.0: Juvia's Sweet Pinks Palette

Hello folksickles. As a makeup junkie and blogger you may have realized that I review a LOAD of eyeshadow palettes and I like to think of myself as being largely an eyeshadow junkie. In order to declutter a bit  I've decided to pick out a palette or series of eyeshadows for the month and have that be my monthly selection for those instances where I'm not doing a tutorial for the blog. Every month I'll do a recap on the eyeshadows - how I feel about them and whether I'll be keeping them or giving them away (and why :P) as well as if I think it's worth its price tag. 

You can find a look I did with the palette here. These are the looks I created this month:
So as you can see I created all sorts of pink looks with these shadows. I personally have found that these shadows are easy to blend and the pigmentation on them is fantastic. I had such a fun time with this palette and was reminded how much I love wearing hot pink and how well it works with my eyes which, tbh, I used to doubt and think that it would make me look sick. That being said, my only issue with this palette is that it does stain the eye area - the staining doesn't bother me much in the sense that it doesn't physically hurt my skin and the staining itself tends to disappear within 24-48 hours but for anyone sensitive to pink or red pigments, that might be something to keep in mind.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Disclaimer: I received this palette as a gift from a friend.

Judydoll #G33 Soft Shine Color Eyeshadow Look

Hey folks! Today I bring you a soft, smoky yet bright colorful look. 

Enough blabbering, tutorial time!
I  applied YSL Babydoll Kiss & Blush in Orange Fougueux as a base for Hourglass Blush in Sublime Flush with my Sephora Collection Pro Mini Airbrush 55.5, respectively. I also applied ColourPop Super Shock Cheek in Over the Moon as a base for Bitter Lace Beauty Coral Cove Highlighter using my AOA studio F19  Highlighter brush.
As a base for my eyeshadow I applied Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Color Stick in Mint and blended it out with my Crown Pro C511 brush. 
For the crease I applied Inglot Pearl 429 along with Inglot AMC 67 with the Sonia Kashuk Essential Blending Crease Brush No. 273 and Crown Pro C511 Brush, respectively. 
For the lid I applied Inglot D.S. 504 and topped it with Judydoll Soft Shine Color Eyeshadow in #G33 with my Crown Pro C510 brush and my ring finger, respectively.
To highlight the brow-bone and the inner corner of the eye I applied Colourpop Lux and Inglot Pearl 403 using my no-name gigantic paddle brush from Crown and Crown Pro C528 brush, respectively.
For the lower lash line, I applied Inglot D.S. 478 using my Bubbi Detail brush.

The look sans falsies. 

For lashes I used reese robert Faux Fur 3D Feather Effect - Amplified Volume lashes along with the Duo Brush On Striplash Adhesive.
Hope that you liked this! :D It was super fun for me to put together! 

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Judydoll #G33 Soft Shine Color Eyeshadow Review

Today I bring to you the Judydoll Soft Shine Color Eyeshadow in #G33

AvailabilityThis retails at $5 - $6 and can be purchased at chicdecent.com and yamibuy.com.
Would I buy this again? Yes!
Notes: I actually found this in a store that sells Asian beauty products as well as collectibles like plushies and silverware. Honestly, as someone with a soft spot for these types of colors - I love a good golden green duo-chrome - I immediately fell for it and when I asked my friend to talk me out of buying it, they told me I should because it was a very "me" color and fairly inexpensive. Besides, I could use this as a topper for all sorts of shadows. I would describe this shade as a sheer orange base with golden green micro-glitter and super tiny copper glitter bits in it.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
